Taking Gumdrop Pass #giveaway

There are few things that last the test of time when it comes to kids.

Star Wars sticks out in my head, as well as Barbie.

But probably more than those, Candy Land sticks out. Candy Land is the first game that many kids are given. I remember getting it and so my kids received the game as soon as they hit the magical age of 3.

Candy Land has redesigned their game board going from a horizontal layout to a vertical one. They have also revamped some of the characters on the board and the colors are much more vibrant. It’s still just as much fun and my kids and I enjoy playing several nights a week before bedtime.

Late last year I was given the opportunity to host a Candy Land party. My kids and I invited all our friends, picked up some lunch and got ready for the fun to begin. We had 3 boards going at once! It was so much fun to watch as the kids all played wonderfully together. Our little ones could even get in on the action since it was a great opportunity to teach them colors.

To show our fun I made a quick video about the day.

Now even more fun!

I have an extra game to give away. 🙂

GIVEAWAY ENDS JANUARY 21st

*Disclosure: I was sent a Party Pack from Hasbro through MyBlogSpark. All the kids from the party went home with a brand new Candy Land of their own. *

My daughter is almost 9 and we still love to play Candyland together. It brings back memories of her being much younger and learning her colors. I imagine it’s a game we’ll always play and the updated version looks great!

My very favorite Candyland Game memory is when my youngest Becca and I would srt the game and before you know it I and all my six children would be on the floor with popcorn koolaid and Candyland laughing so hard tears would come. Great memories with family and great games.

I remember when I was about 6 I loved playing that game, but my brother was 4 yrs. younger than me and my mom insisted that “teach him, he has to learn”. It was so frustraing! That’s a good game though. I bought it for my grandchild, this year actually.

I have good memories of playing candy land w/my mom and I would like to give my three daughters the same memory, and in doing so, they will be learning social skills, color recognition, and counting as well!

Since nobody has commented I am wondering if this the right place to comment. Better safe than sorry I guess. All my kids loved playing Candyland, I cherish all memories with them but I remember playing when I was a kids so it makes a more special moment. I loved when they won against me, their eyes light up (do you know how hard it is to try and lose at Candyland?) and smiles go on forever.

I played Candyland with my kids, but my favorite memory of all is when we would visit my Mom & Dad (both now deceased,) and my Mom would literally play Candyland for hours on end with my son and/or daughter. I have no photos of this, but the memory is a beautiful one that I have in my mind and heart. Yes, Candyland holds a very special place in my life…I now play it with my two young granddaughters!
